Yes, since I was interviewed for the article, I saw that reference to his new book. With Jack's age and crazy schedule, you simply can't rush him. It will be out when it's ready. Hi Mel - I had wanted to ask (if possible and allowed :) ) what the overall theme of the book will be: investment, specu...

I'll throw my usual out there: If you were born Mr. Yasuhara from Tokyo would you have been advocating 100% US equities this whole time or is that only because you were born Mr. Bogle from Montclair, NJ? Good luck. p.s. I am not sure if someone has already asked my perpetual query, but if it has pl...

If you get one more Israeli Boglehead who's interested, we can establish a Boglehead Local Chapter in Israel. Let me know either here or via PM if one of you is interested in being the Local Chapter Coordinator and we'll get your group established.

Hello Everyone: Mel Turner, my friend, fellow Marine and Conference team member, will be handling the duties of moderating the Question & Answer sessions with a number of authors and experts at our upcoming 2018 Bogleheads Conference which takes place October 3-5. The Expert Panel members include (i...

Hello Everyone: This year's Moderator for the Question and Answer session with our friend and mentor, Jack Bogle will be my good friend and Conference teammate, Ed Rager. The Q&A will take place during our annual get-together with Jack at the 2018 Bogleheads Conference in Philadelphia on October 3-5...

I think that's a standard legal disclaimer and didn't feel offended by it in the least. Agree with you, though, that's it is a bit funny. It's very standard, and I don't know why it struck me as funny, except that it was rather early in the morning. :beer I suspect you found it amusing because we B...

Mel, I just listened to the podcast and enjoyed your part of it, I wish your interview was longer ... and thanks for everything you and others do on the Bogleheads! The future podcasts will include other Boglehead authors and experts as well, since part of the series was recorded at Vanguard's stud...

Thanks, Mel. I listened this morning and enjoyed it. For some reason, I was amused by the Mel Lindauer disclaimer at the end. :beer You mean the part about the Bogleheads and Mel Lindauer not being associated with Vanguard and the views expressed are not necessarily those of Vanguard? I think that'...

Is there a good way to subscribe to this podcast series through something like Podkicker (which I use for podcasts I listen to)? Apparently you can subscribe to the series. At the end of the podcast, Vanguard says: Joel Dickson: Or, simply subscribe to our series and you won’t miss an episode.

Hi Everyone: Vanguard has started a series of podcasts, and I was honored to be interviewed for the first podcast. The Bogleheads are featured prominently in the podcast. Here's a link to the audio podcast as well as a written transcript for those who would rather read than listen. Enjoy. https://in...

All we need now is for one of you to agree to be the Local Chapter Coordinator. That person doesn't have to be an investing guru. Rather, the Coordinator simply communicates with the other members about meeting dates, locations, times, etc. That communication can take place right here on this thread...

Regarding questions about making the conference bigger, Mel Lindauer posted this after last year's conference. Subject: 2017 BOGLEHEADS CONFERENCE ANNOUNCEMENT Obviously we could sell out a much larger venue, but we prefer a smaller group (200) where attendees get a chance to interact with Jack Bog...

Please, add me +1 to the waitlist. Thanks! Edit: I’ve read more closely and I see there will be no waitlist. Hopefully next year I can attend. While there is no "formal" wait list, folks should feel free to add their names to this thread, just in case. The odds of getting in aren't very good, but n...

Please add me to the waiting list. I attended last year and it was a great conference. There won't be a wait list. If you want to attend, you need to sign up promptly before we're sold out. The signups are already approaching 50. The initial link was incorrectly pointing to the 2017 Conference. The...

Hi Everyone: I received the following request. If you fit the profile and are interested in being interviewed for the story, please contact the Robin (the reporter) directly. ********************************* Dear Mr. Lindauer, I am doing research for a story that will appear in AARP The Magazine an...

Mel, anytime I’ve looked into anything remotely near the ocean in FL the property taxes alone are enough to make me faint! May I ask how you deal with that? I live right across the street from the ocean in central Florida. Simple. I'm homesteaded (since 2001) as are most legal residents. My propert...

If you get five or more Bogleheads who express an interest in getting an Orange County Local Chapter going and one of you agrees to be the Local Chapter Coordinator, I'll get you up and running. Just PM me if you're interested.

FWIW, this is the early online version of the story. I did an interview with Erin this afternoon and she stated that she'd be adding some of what we talked about to the article which will then appear in the print edition of The Philadelphia Inquirer either tomm. or Sunday.

FWIW, Jonathan will be with us again this year for the 2018 Bogleheads Conference. He'll be on the Q&A with the Experts Panel and will also be signing books an chatting with attendees during the book-signing session.

It's official; we now have a new Little Rock Local Chapter. Cantrip has stepped up and agreed to be the Little Rock Chapter Coordinator. I'll add your group to the Local Chapters Map so other can find and contact you. The Local Chapter contact email address is LittleRockBogleheads@gmail.com. You can...

Follow up to the "mobile sized charts" issue. Just checked the report using my phone, the charts looks perfect when using the phone horizontally [when used vertically I need to scroll right, but that's not an issue]. Gracias por leer ~cfs~ Same for me. Look perfectly fine when I look at the chart w...

I have a second child coming in May, so I am unable to sign on as the Local Chapter Coordinator at this time. We could all coordinate a time/date and bring one posting of interest from the site for discussions. We then could each decide if we liked the meeting ( and each other) and move forward fro...

Bogleheads - I am reading a recent article from Philadelphia Magazine where Mr. Bogle's notes all the books he has written to date and that his 12th is on the way regarding his history with Vanguard! No other details were mentioned so I am very curious and excited. Here is the link: http://www.phil...

Stay tuned for my forum announcement in early March. Act immediately (if not sooner) if you want a spot. We sold out in less than two days last year and we just may beat that record this year since the time to sellout gets shorter each year. Procrastinate for even a bit and you're probably going to ...

Victoria: I appreciate your message more than you know. Thank you and best wishes. Taylor I echo Taylor's comment, Victoria. It's comments like yours that make our labor of love worthwhile. Knowing that we had a positive impact of people's lives is very heady stuff, and it's all the reward we need ...

Hi Everyone: Received these words of wisdom from Vanguard in an email. We all need to stay focused on the longer term and not let this volatility cause us to panic and abandon our well-thought-out portfolios. Vanguard Market corrections are common The financial markets continue to be volatile. It's ...

I would like to gift this to a niece and nephew as well. Two questions: 1) Is the latest edition (August 2014) not available in paperback? This seems the case on Amazon. 2) Is purchasing from Amazon via Bogleheads.org affiliate link the best way - to give back a small amount to this site? (that has...

Years ago, when Jack Bogle was the keynote speaker at the Money Show in Orlando, the Money Show folks invited us to have our Bogleheads group attend. Since it was on rather short notice, we made it an "unofficial" Bogleheads Conference, and thus isn't included in the official Bogleheads Conference ...
